Birth control is 'preventive care'

WASHINGTON - August 1, 2011 (WPVI) -- Health insurance plans must cover birth control as preventive care for women, with no copays, the Obama administration said Monday in a decision with far-reaching implications for health care as well as social mores.

i think the intention is to slow down ghetto mom pregnancy, as in they can't affor to raise a child and so the govt pays for it anyway. BUT, something tells me they'll conveniently forget to take those pills.

I don't think so. They could get them free already, courtesy of medicaid, etc. Not that they will use them.

This is aimed at liberal women who resent having to pay for pills so their BFs can get off. Some plans paid for ED drugs but not birth control, on the ground that the former was a medical condition and the latter was a lifestyle choice, like buying sunscreen.

This is a good illustration of why obamacare is such a terrible idea. Why not let the market decide? If one company wanted to cover them and another didn't, you could, you know, choose the one that suited you better. Of course, liberals deeply believe in a one size fits all, lowest common denominator, let government decide approach to everything. They claim that conservatives want to run peoiples' lives, then they turn around and dictate how much water we can use to flush the toilet, what kind of friggin' lightbulb we can use, and force our kids to go to some ghetto school on the other side of town.
